It has been a fantastic, memorable stay at Genie's place; one of the best stays we have ever had through airbnb or otherwise. The house is set in local neighbourhood, away from touristy humdrum - enabling guests to observe Bkk in its natural format. Tourist spots, however are not much far, viz. Khao San Rd is some 20 minutes 75-100 THB ride away; (Wat Arun, asiatique, floating markets etc being much closer). The gated location (about 100 mtrs from the main gate/road) makes it an almost private affair despite being in the middle of everything. The compound additionally houses a boutique cafe, a largish open space/ stage (used for weekend aerobics classes by the locals since such an open area is prime stuff), manicured/ potted lawns, seating areas, an artificial pond, etc. The staff is very friendly and do make up for lack of English communication (like any other non-touristy spot in the country) with gleeful smiles and hand-held google translator. If you are a street foodie, well, within 100 mtrs either side of the entrance gate there are at least (more than ?) a dozen food stalls. And of course, there is more as you walk farther. Two special aspects of our stay were - 1. The generous, mouth watering breakfast spread - its the kind of stuff which make memories -) and 2. the great hospitality of Genie's parents. Her mother is a great cook and the force behind those adorable breakfasts. Her father is so very friendly, who narrated local stories to us. Overall, a most lovely experience, we would like to go back and again. Thanks really - Genie and your parents.
